An honors student from New Jersey says she was roughed by police after they ordered her out of her parked car.

She has bruises and scratches on her forehead and back, and on Tuesday, she filed a complaint against Passaic police.

"They kicked me on the ground with their boots," she said. "Three of them kicked me to the ground."

The 17-year-old student, who's mother insisted keep her identity hidden, was still shaken hours after the incident.

She and two friends were in a car Monday night, eating ice cream and talking in a parking lot near 1 East Monroe Street when she says Passaic police officers pulled up and asked for their IDs. She told them she was 17 and didn't have ID.

"So I just said, 'Can I call my mother,' as they started taking people out of the car," she said.

She was in the back seat and said the situation quickly escalated.

"One of the officers forcefully took me out," she said. "I was calling my mother and I fell in, my bottom side to the ground. He flipped me over, three officers kicked me in my back. My face was on the pavement, and I was saying, 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe.'"

Her mom was on the phone and heard the commotion.

"I heard the profanity, I heard them yank her out," she said. "I was stunned."

The teen said her two friends were slammed to the car and searched, and she was taken away.
